Funnies

Haha, just read Garry's blogpost. Was freakin' hilarious.

It's about past hobbies. Man, I should compare my country flag erasers with him someday. xD

Today, Qiao Zhi told me something quite illogical. She said that looking at people's blog is like stalking them and that  people write blogs to read it themselves.

It's not just her. Apparently people like Ern also thinks that looking at a person's FB profile is equivalent to stalking them.

Ok people, time for a bit of education. Blogs are generally publicised, about thoughts you write to let people read. Then they comment on it, regardless of how nice/funny/stupid/dumb/retarded your thoughts are.

It's not stalking. People fully expect people to go to their blogs or FB profiles to read it and comment.

Stalker: Someone who prowls and sneak around; often with unlawful intentions.

 

So yeah, folks, don't confuse "following" with "stalking". The difference? The intentions.

On a totally unrelated note, my laptop's FINALLY gonna get fixed. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Won't need to quarrel with my mother or sister over the use of the laptop again. I'm going to uninstall Firefox and use Chrome though. Heard that it's really good.

MSTs coming, folks. Good luck to all SP students. :]

How I spent a completely free Saturday away...

One thing I noted today (along with the rest of my life). Singapore is damn freaking warm! Seriously folks. Stop your industrial stuff and all that tree cutting. I don't care much about world preservation, but when it causes me to sweat more when I don't want to sweat, it's personal.

Went to Acer Service Centre today to get my laptop fixed. Good news: Warranty still valid, which means that to replace the LCD,I don't need to play a single cent for now. ^^ Saw Kelly there, or should I say, she saw me, by some coincidence. Didn't stay to talk much though, other from a single 'hi'.

Another good news involved Jun Yi finding Noel's Caius with him. That got me real freaked out yesterday when I couldn't find it. ><

Alex invited some of us guys to his birthday party . Me and Ern went over, but we didn't stay for more than an hour, cos it was sorta awkward. The other guys stayed back in Sembawang for dinner in the end, while I left for the sweet comfort of an air-con at home. Way too warm outside, even at night. Anyways, Happy Birthday, Alex.

3 weeks later got qualifiers for YGO OCG World Championships. Noel and Anwar's gonna join. Should I? I can get my main deck fixed up by then, but my side deck will be incomplete. I'll definitely lose if I don't get a side deck well prepared, especially against Blackfeather and Lightlord decks. Maybe I should just join for kicks.

So yeah, completely gone, one Saturday.

YGO has to be put on hiatus for now. I've got more pressing matters now to deal with.

1) MSTs. The schedule's out. Monday-Wednesday, Friday for 4 papers.

2) SC Online quiz. Due Sunday 11:55pm. 10 friggin' attempts,

3) PED report, due Tuesday. I don't have a laptop with friggin' MultiSim. I'll need to depend on Ern for this on Monday.

The matters above are so suffocating I should totally focus on them asap. Will buy my stuff to build up my deck after the MSTs are over. But there's the chalet planning too... Exercise plans...

I need a time manager. No seriously, I'll need a time manager. My time's so tight I can't breathe.

And I need a hug. Badly. Not desperately, but I need some serious cheering up.

See you, folks. :]

LP8000 VS LP25

It was tough, it was an achievement, and seriously, it was a miracle. They guy had a full LP counter. I was left at LP25. I won. ^^

If anything, this has taught me that even if things look desperate, don't give up. Life sometimes has surprising twists in stall for you. All that is required of you, is to believe.

Met up with Anwar at 6:30pm and we played. Noel came at 9:30pm. We went home at 11pm, and I accompanied Noel in waiting for his 35 minutes bus. 5 hours of YGO without rest!!! ><

Fun is fun, but tbh, we're all now quite shagged. I believe we can all sleep like logs tonight. Tomorrow meeting up to play again, with Jun Yi.

Edited a few decks, came up with a few new ideas. But to be honest, after this Saturday, I will be stopping the cards till after MSTs.

PLC lab test and CSW class assignments went well today. More worried about the PED report and also, the SC online quiz. Need to start cracking tomorrow... after the card games!

Whew, adrenaline rush after almost losing to a complete stranger quite high today. Tomorrow will experience more of that. I'll just do my best and remember a valuable lesson my cards taught me.

Never give up even when the odds are against you. =)

Commitments

Commitments. Someday or other, they chase after you. But well, that's human. Everyone's gotta have one or two of those.

1) PLC Lab Test 1
2) CSW Class Test 1
3) PED Report
4) 4 MST papers

Time to get cracking.

I, for once, want to enjoy my holidays without worrying too much about my results. Chalet must enjoy thoroughly. And YGO tourney, must win with maximum pleasure.

Tomorrow Wed got class. Stupid CSW... I hate that module. Haiz, no choice la... Gonna sign up for driving lessons with Garry and ZY.

Realised that I haven't exercised in like, very long time. Tomorrow morning since free I gonna go for a little jog. Tonight will sleep early purely for that sake.

Ciao, all, wish me luck.

Today...

I did things today that I won't be able to forgive myself for. I found out facts that made me depressed.

I am so pissed off right now at myself that I want to punch myself like 5 times on the face to punish myself.

I am just a simple guy who wants to be happy, without the expense of others. But.. I am a coward. Yes, I am. People take the rap for me sometimes, forgive me, and all that. I appreciate it. But the feeling residing inside my heart will never be able to go away. I'm lucky to have friends like mine, but always taking advantage of their kindnesses. When I look at myself in the mirror, I get sick.

I suck. Big time.

Just realise that my photo assignment for my GEMs CA1 hadn't been officially started.I'm gonna change my theme to Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. Since we won't need to publicly present them, and only need to give in CD... well, I'll be able to deal with it.

Tomorrow is the last day of graduation. Good luck, seniors. Time sure flies. My turn next year already...

Tomorrow on, I'll also be embarking on a small journey. To find myself. And to trust in myself. I lack a lot of confidence, self esteem and optimism. With the way I am... I can't take on the world. Hesitance will only make people hate me. I need to rid myself of that factor.

I just realised a lot of people I know are beyond my horizons. They are as high and bright as the glittering stars in the sky, while I am... the useless sand on the ground people step on. I... want to fly and be on the same standing with them... but I can't. I don't know why, but I feel so helpless, so useless. When can I reach their level? When can I prove myself?

I don't know. I'm confused. I'm dumb. I'm stupid. I know.

I'll never get anywhere in the world with who I am now. If I want to rise, I need to discover dominant powers within myself, such as  "motivation", "drive" etc.

ZH, it's time to wake up.

You can't depend on your friends who can tank for you now for the rest of your life. Eventually, you'll need to stand alone against the world. And they will also have their lives to take care of.

Realise that.

What a day...

I wanted to help out with graduation, but couldn't... Haiz... I really really wanted to help. ><

Don't get me wrong. I love roadshows. I like hanging out with ZY, Garry and Steve. And I love Woodlands Ring, which I returned to after the parents' forum from before. But it's just that I really wanna help with graduation. Not to mentioned I left poor Haikal alone behind for the shift. Sorry about that, man.

Well, guess it can't be helped. I missed SPX too. This couldn't be compared to that one.

Friday meeting Anwar to pump up our decks for Saturday's Duel Tour. I really wanna test out my decks' capabilities.

Tomorrow PLC lab test. Hope I can handle it well, then one hurdle, GONE!~

Then after that, MST studies!

I really need to get started. Finish the tutorials! ><
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most importantly, now is the magical moment, 12am, 20th May. Happy 19th Birthday, Sarah! Hope you remain beautiful, always. =)

1 1/2 hour to Sunday... Sian!!!

Sunday hasn't ended... but I can already feel the Monday blues. Damn, the weekend really goes like the wind.

And Week 5 is here. Robotics lab test, PLC lab tests are on the way. And also, I have assignments to pass up for PED and stupid CSW. Photo journal for GEMs needs to be passed up on Week 6. Argh, feels so much trying to catch up to me. MSTs coming in 2-3 weeks. Only comfort is that my Wed will still be free, and that next 2 Saturdays Jap class holidays.

Whoop-de-f*cking-doo. -.-

That small amount of break will definitely brush by in no time. I'm not even thankful for it now. Haiz...

Fri and Sat hung out with Jun Yi (only Fri), Anwar and Noel (only Sat). YGO all the way. till absolute exhaustion. Can't explain how a card game can bring you to the brink of mind collapse, but I can feel my mind getting sharper after playing again. At least, my mind's moving faster than the past two years I quit.

^The three Phantom God Cards

Next Sat we going on a YGO marathon around Singapore. I need to cut some slack (low budget), my schedule for the weekdays will be totally hectic. I'm excited over it.

Can't wait for the June holidays to come. Chalet would be mad awesome. It's like the only motivation for me to study now, so I can get through the tests with confidence and be content about it while playing in a chalet.

Anyways, school is gonna suck. I'm gonna go Rambo on caffeine. As Ern keeps pointing out, I've been falling asleep in classes. Not cool. I need some caffeine or sugar to keep me alert for class.

Tomorrow Robotics lab test. Thanks, Ivan, for the encouragement. I'll do my best.

Ok, all good luck in whatever you guys do.

Tata.

Things to do...

Right now, I have several of those...

• Finish my entire laundry
• Start to revise for MST (though it's early!)
• Start to exercise again
• ACER logo for ACER shirt (Made 2, but will be making more!)
• SP ACER JR Recruitment Powerpoint Slide
• Duel Duel Duel! (Noel coming out on Friday! The team meeting up on Sat! :])

Time really really goes by fast. In a flash, Monday night is here again. It seemed as if just yesterday Friday night was here.

I guess it might be attributed to my Saturday being 70% taken up by my Japanese classes that my weekend seem short. ><

Tomorrow: Tuesday. Fast coming in approximately 20 minutes. And I still don't have a third and final design for the ACER logo to hand in to Michelle. I guess I'm royally screwed. Nothing comes to mind! I just open my Photoshop, and I start to stun there for like 5 minutes. Nothing. 10 minutes. Nothing. 20 minutes. Nothing. And well, it goes on.

Today went to dinner at Xing Wang Hong Kong cafe with my sister, Xuan. I recommend all of you NOT to eat the curry chicken rice there. It's like 90% fat and 10% curry, and well, it's making me sort of sick now. The coconut milk taste lingers in my throat and I just want to puke now. In addition to my worsening cough (no thanks to curry!), a bad tummy is not what I need now.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, is my sister's revision time. Ern is coming over to teach her Maths. Then Wed we'll head over to Bishan together for the roadshow.

For my YGO life... I just made a new deck inspired by Anwar and partially PH in the past. Two new decks actually. I split my BEWD Beatdown into two sectors now: Dragon and Strategy (Kaiba and Yugi Styles, you can compare that way). I've been sort of testing both of them, but I want to play against some real opponents other than myself. Damn! Too bad Anwar is not free till Friday, and I'm going to have to cancel my outing tomorrow with Jun Yi due to some schedule conflict. I need a real good opponent!!! Noel's still in Tekong, zzz. The soonest I can pay is Sat! I can feel the restrain!!! Urgh!!!

Friday Jr. recruitment approaching. I super stress mode activated. Need to finish up my tutorial for my EMD soon also if I want to help out till 5pm.

I better go iron my father's clothes, drink my cough medicine, and go to bed. I'm in pretty bad shape now.

ACER gang, I miss you guys! >< I wanna meet you all so bad!

Same for the YGO khakis!

Nightz, all.

Catch ups!

Every once in a while, it's always cool to catch up with some old pals. :]

It's been like almost half a year since I saw most of them at all! Especially Liwen and Grace, whom I almost have zero opportunities to meet.

It was a nice dinner in a good cafe at 313 Somerset, known as Blue Mountain.

I recommend the Rosemary chicken to you guys. The portion notwithstanding, the quality was good. I liked the sauce they used, and the mashed potato was awesome.

For the two hours we sat there, we talked cock, made fun of one another, joked and well, yeah, we caught up. :]

^My awesomezxzx friends! ^_^
From top to bottom:
Felix, Shiwei, Grace, Liwen

After dinner, there was obviously the dessert. I didn't eat any due to my inability from my bad cough.

Before

After

We sorta walked to Orchard where Liwen had to meet her bf. Then we took the train from there home. I took the green line with all the other folks, and more photo taking came along da way! :]

All good things had to come to an end. I alighted at JE, exhausted, and trudged home.

Guys, we should definitely do more of these outings next time! :]

IP Man 2

Barely yesterday (Friday night), a group of 7 went to Iluma to watch Ip Man 2. The initial plan was to watch Iron Man 2, but the plans and priorities changed, and we switched movies at 7:09pm when the movie was supposed to start at 7:10pm. (Y)

The culprits today were Me, Ern, Zack, Haikal, Sen Rong, Ivan and Pei Zhen.

Ip Man 2 was good. I give it a 5/5. Ern was so impressed he declared he's going to learn Wing Chun. Gotta say that if this movie was based on real life events, Ip Man is really my hero now. I'm gonna try to get an opportunity to watch Ip Man 1 now.

After the very very cool movie, we went to Bugis Junction's Food Junction for dinner. Ate chicken rice, and we started to chat and take some photos around. :]

^ Yesterday's culprits! Note the extremely handsome guy sitting in the centre of the photo! :P

Went home on the same train as everyone except for Zack and CodyErnest. Chatted till we parted at certain points.

I'm sort of broke after the movie and the dinner. Shit, I really need to save up...

Now I need to figure out how to get cash for the Sec School gang outing tomorrow with Fel, Liwen, Grace and Shi Wei.

Ciao, all. Good night.

Pushing my limits!

I need to do that, even if it means forcing my body to extreme exhaustion.

From next week on, I resolve to study at least 2 hours per night, go to the gym 4 times per week, stay on a very strict low carbo/fat diet, spend less time on the computer.

I need to do that. The past two weeks took a toll on my body. My severely injured foot and my 'flu caused me to be unable to exercise, and also hindered my ability to think. I'm very behind on a lot of things now.

I'm gradually losing confidence, while she is gradually, to me, growing more beautiful, yet more distant. I don't want that. I want to be a man worthy of her.

So it's time to go go go.

I'm going to push my body to its absolute limits even if it kills me. I want to succeed, and I don't want to let some people to look down on me anymore. I'll challenge myself and I'll bloody take on and complete my own challenge. Even if it takes me down.

Tomorrow meeting Michelle for meeting for Junior ACER Recruitment Drive! It's finally after the 6th and she's finally free to handle our stuff.

Next week's going to be the best week ever. I've got a Road Show and I've got the Junior's Recruitment presentation to deal with. I love ACER stuff, so i don't mind.

Can't wait to see who's been recruited to ACER. I'm damn excited.

Was at PLC lab's free access till 8:30pm just now. Got Ern to teach me the complicated programs. I still wonder how he does the thing like so easy. I get a lot of problems with it. After finishing up my practice, I sorta hung around Zack and we chatted a bit.

Tomorrow going out with the ACER gang to watch Iron Man 2. I didn't really watch the first movie before, but well, I'll just go watch the sequel and see how it goes.

Saturday meeting Fel, SW, Grace, Liwen and the NTSS gang up for dinner. God, I miss those people. It's been half a year since our last full outing.

Catching up with you guys soon! Ciao! :]

Another outing missed; ironic it is on another Saturday...

Once, there was a Open House closing celebration (unofficial) by some of the ACERs. I CMIed because of Japanese classes on Saturdays.

Then there was a primary school steamboat outing on another Saturday which I once again failed to make it because of Japanese class due to it being on a Saturday.

Just as I thought that I could make it to a free dinner with the ACERs this Saturday because it is a public holiday... I came down with the 'flu and a mild fever.

Screw it, the timing could not have been worst. 

I hate it when I miss outings. Really. Really. Hate it. And I'm finally free on a Saturday too. This shit happened. I really like it when I'm hanging out with the gang and talking and laughing. But no... I had to cancel my plans tonight because of my weak immune system.

You guys have fun, gang. I'll be helping to plan the chalet to make it as fun as I can for you as possible.

Trust me, I really want to see you guys... but it seems like I'm being denied the opportunity. Wouldn't want to spread the illness to you guys.

Down with the 'flu

Happy Labour Day, all.

Right now, the clock reads 12:03am. Given the time and my body's current condition, I should definitely be in bed.

Super sick now... Headache, cough, sneeze, blocked nose, runny nose, sore throat... that combination is like, really annoying. Hope I can recover in time for tomorrow's outing. Foot also still not recovering fully.

I think I'm also coming down with a fever... This morning's temperature read 37.4deg Celsius, which is the extremeness of not feverish.

Went to school with Sophia this morning. I was late, but the tutor haven't even started the tutorial when I arrived. 3 hours break I dedicated myself to sleeping to rest up.

Felt horrible in class. Coughed, sneeze, and all of that hurts with my sore throat. People who had the flu before know what I mean.

Met Nadiah on my way home. She saw me in a wreck and offered me a hug. Thanks, Nadiah, but I wouldn't want to infect you with my flu.

Only good thing today is the confirmation of the junior recruitment for ACERs and the chalet going to get booked. I am so looking forward to that. =)

Signing off, I'd better get to bed now to get more rest.

Ciao, and thank you to Zack, Sophia, Ern, ZY, Garry and Nadiah for your concerns. I appreciate it.
